New Here? We’d Love to Help.
If you're new to Longwood or North Orlando and curious what a Sunday at CTK is like, we'd love to welcome you.
A Sunday at Christ the King
Our worship follows a pattern Christians have practiced for centuries — a rhythm of gathering, hearing God’s Word, responding in faith, and being sent out in His grace. Here’s what you can expect when you join us on Sunday.
Arriving
When you pull into the parking lot, there is plenty of parking on the left and the right. We meet in the first building on the left. Signs and greeters should make it easy to find.
Our greeters will be happy to make sure you get a bulletin, find the restrooms and mother’s room. We have coffee available starting at 10:00 AM.
The Worship Service
Our worship follows a historic Christian pattern. We are called to worship, confess our sins and receive God’s assurance of pardon, hear His Word read and preached, and come to the Lord’s Table together.
Worship is something we participate in together, but there is no pressure to know exactly what to do. If you are exploring Christianity or visiting for the first time, you are welcome to watch, listen, and enter in at your own pace.
Your Children
Children are welcome in worship at Christ the King. We believe children belong with the gathered church and encourage them to learn the rhythms of worship alongside God’s people.
Beginning in October, children will gather most Sundays from 10:00–10:20 a.m. for Catechism Club while adults meet for coffee and conversation. And don’t worry about the wiggles, whispers, or occasional giggles in worship — children are a joyful part of our church family. For mothers with small children, a mother’s room is available.
Afterward
After worship, we fellowship and children play. On the first Sunday of the month we share a fellowship meal after the service.
Elders are available after service for prayer and to answer any questions you may have.
